Comparing Oster, Wahl and Andis clippers

(June, 2008). I am completely satisfied with the Oster Fast Feed clipper. It works perfectly, has minimal vibration and noise. It has no case, but the accessory guides fit and seem well made. I was able to get mine for less than $50, shipping included.

Here are some general observations about buying clippers for reliable long life use. I needed a clipper to cut my (mens) hair fairly short. I researched the Wahl, Andis and Oster brands.

The least expensive Wahl unit that seems to be currently made (assembled?) in the US and that consistently gets good reviews is the ChromePro. Some of the HomePro units get terrible reviews. I suspect the manufacturing of this line has recently moved overseas because some of the older HomePros models were well reviewed.

The same seems to be true of Andis; some less expensive units get mixed reviews and the better-rated and more expensive units are US made.

The Oster Azteq is made in China and has some negative comment about insufficient cutter travel. The Fast Feed and Salon Pro are the least expensive Osters with good reviews and, you guessed it, made (assembled?) in the US.

I think, at this time, my recommendation regarding clippers is to seek out an American made product.

Technically Wahl has the least expensive product to meet these criteria, but I have been using Oster clippers on my horses for years. Some of these units are 30 years old and still going strong, so I decided to pay another $20 to get the Fast Feed.

You probably will need guides that restrict the length of hair that can be cut. I felt I needed at least a #4 (1/2"), #3 (3/8") #2 (1/4") and #1 (1/8" aka blend) guide. The clippers themselves have a built in guide that adjusts to provide the smaller sizes (000 to 0 or "shave" to 1/16th). If you are styling longer hair then you will need more guides. It makes sense to buy the guides at the same time as the clippers. All clippers should include oil and a cleaning brush. You will also need good scissors.

If you are unsure about home hair cutting go to Google and search videos "how to cut hair". You can add in "Men" and "Self". There are many very informative videos on the subject. Some are pretty funny, too.

Good luck and remember

Good Sturdy Set of Clippers

It's immediately clear when you hold these clippers, that they're high quality. The power cord is meaty and has a 3-prong plug, the blades are stout and sharp, and while not heavy, they have a nice solid feel to 'em.

The height adjuster seems to allow about twice as much movement as any other clippers I've used - good for getting tapers nice and even for guy's cuts. There's no adjustment knob to keep the blade chatter down, which I like, since I've always been annoyed by trying to keep the blades quiet while cutting. On the noise front, these don't make half as much noise as any other clippers I've used. Just a nice low hum, which sounds powerful to me - like they're V8 powered.

Excellent clippers

I have been cutting my hair and beard for about 14 years with a model of clippers from Oster that had been discontinued, so I needed a replacement. I tried the Aztec clippers and they weren't good at all (pulled hair and hesitated when cutting quickly), so I tried these clippers.

The Fast Feed clippers are excellent and don't pinch, pull or hesitate when cutting hair. I am completely satisfied with these clippers, except that they do not cut skin close like the associated T-finisher trimmer. I use both the Fast feed clippers and the trimmer and I'm happy with them both.
